NO. 15 CA ROLII Captain Meyer Call to Gri HARRY UGHTSEY TO HAVE CHARGE OF PRACTICE Carolina to Have Spring Football Practice At a meeting of the members of last year's ivarsity squad, of the football team, they went on record as favoritg the beginning of spring football prac tice so as to begin getting in shape for next fall and not have to spend half of the season in this phase of work Cap tain Frankie Meyer called the meeting together in the chapel last Tuesday af ternoon. There were about thirty of the old men out. They all seemed well pleased with the idea and are going to do all that they can to get more members from the student body out. They are working on the theory that a man does not know what he is cap able of doing until he gives himself a try. Last year a (uarter back was developed out of a player who had never played at that positiovi before and who, at the first of the year did not want to make the try. lIti he gave it a try and those who saw Jackie play in the last few gaines of the season rate him as the best quarter in the State. Next year the followers of the game will have another chanc'e to see himi in action. Coach Metzger has been in clo.e touch with all of the men. Le h1a1. sent every member of the squad a lel ter with instructions that lie w:L:ts them to follow in the spring practice. The squad is to work ouit on ilondav. Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:30 until 6:00, under the direction of Coach Harry 1,ightsen, an ild Netz ger player. L,ightsey made a great sue cess at the Iligh School last fall in his first try at coaching. He put the IHigh team in the finals for the State title. Coach Metzger is to come dow,n and take active charge of the squad ahiot tihe first of klare.i, Then they are to underg(i niore extensive training. A!l the members have pledged t() keep inl as fine shape as possible during the holidays and to report back early for fall practice. A new feature that is being put into practice next fall is that of keeping all of the players together. The eastern addition to Woodrow is to he givei over entirely to the members of tle Varsity squad and are to be under the imnmediate charge of Coach Metzger and his assistants. In the past yeacs the players have roomed all over the camptis and have not been able to get their much needed rest due to other students staying up late in study, or coming in from i) street and making a lot of noise. This addition, when completed, will be able to take care of about fifty meni. Graduate Manager Roger Heyward, has p)romisedl thme squad some new equip)ment that is sorely needled. IIe is going to do0 everything pmossible to have everything ini readiness when the actual practice starts next fall. At present there are about a half dlozen football men out for basketball. These men are nowv i.n great trim, and as soon as their schedule is over they are going to join thme squiadl on D)avis Field. -U.S.C.

The weekly meeting plrobleii seemed to be the most impor t.wit of all problems. Pract ica II y every delegate present made some re mark about this matter and some real good information was gotten fromi the discussions.
